Hey, I just set up a new PC with a mix of parts from my old machine and some new components. It’s showing up with four drives connected—1TB M.2 250GB, a 4TB HDD, and two SSDs—but none of them appear as bootable drives. The one that was my old boot drive worked fine before, so I’m not sure what’s happening. Any tips would help! Thanks!

Check if all your previous drives are still connected. If not, consider deleting any new drives and attempting to install the existing operating system from your old boot device. When BIOS doesn<|pad|>, look for options like "boot by file" to access your EFI partition (often found in /EFI/Microsoft). If you spot an EFI section, manually select it and boot using the file. For example, bootx64.efi is typical. If you still can't start, repair or regenerate the EFI file. If no boot partitions appear, a full reinstall might be necessary.

Thanks everyone, I found the issue, for some reason i had to enable CSM to get them to show up, which they now do. Looking at the motherboard reviews, this seems like a very common thing people are finding with the ASUS Z690-F May just be my incompetence however!
